Hi there, Jennifer! Welcome back to planDisney! I can see that you are getting all of your logistics in a row for your upcoming trip next month! In just a few short weeks, you'll be strolling down Main Street, U.S.A. with a churro in one hand and a
DOLE WHIP® in the other humming along to
The Dapper Dans! Can you even believe it? Fire up that countdown calendar because the magic is almost yours!
I have some great news for you. Bell Services at
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa will be happy to hold your groceries or any other deliveries for you until you arrive, provided there is no alcohol included in your order. That's the one caveat to the early delivery. If you do have alcohol in your order, you might want to time the delivery to when you are able to meet the delivery team. The hotel will accept deliveries from anywhere, my go-to is usually Amazon Fresh! It's such a great idea to stock the room with some water, drinks, and snacks, and I usually have something for breakfast for the kiddos so that they have a little something in their bellies before we hit the parks and they ask for a Mickey pretzel!
My fellow panelist Kristen recently answered a similar question and made a good point to note that the standard rooms at the hotel all have mini refrigerators without freezer compartments. Just something to note when you're making that grocery list! If you are staying in
The Villas at Disney's Grand California Hotel & Spa, these have full kitchens so you could basically make your own Thanksgiving feast if you needed to!
You are going to LOVE Disney's Grand California Hotel & Spa. Not only is it just steps from both parks, but it's a complete oasis from that park hustle and bustle. I have been known from time to time to stop into that beautiful lobby for an air-conditioned park break even when I was not an overnight Guest! If you're having a relaxing arrival day, I highly recommend making a reservation for the
GCH Craftsman Grill. This open-air spot has FANTASTIC food, one of the best on property if you ask me, and you can't beat the pool view! I know for a fact that the Hot Dog of the Month is a fan favorite!
Jennifer, I can see that you have a few more questions for us already! We will get to those as soon as we can! You know where to find us if anything else pops up in the meantime. We are always here for you at
planDisney.
Magic awaits!
